Party Must-Have: Confetti Bunting by Engel
Super Simple Valentine’s Day Bunting. Bunting is all over the place, and it has been ever since crafters, party planners and artists realized just how whimsical it can be, whether its a pom pom extravaganza, a base for a Confetti System style decoration, or simply construction paper, staples and string.

Materials: - string (any kind will do) - glue stick or double stick tape - scissors - hole puncher - newspaper - old catalogs or magazines - colorful paper (origami or construction paper) First, fold up a piece of newspaper two, four or eight times depending on the size you want your hearts. Cut a half heart along the folded side.

For us, this yielded 8 hearts. Repeat with folded origami or construction paper, so that the colored paper hearts are slightly smaller than the newspaper ones. And repeat again with catalogs or magazines.
